Ipswich Town has be promoted to the Premier League after a 22-year absence from top-flight football.




The Tractor Boys beat Huddersfield 2-0 to confirm promotion by finishing at the top of the Championship table.

And it has been a long time coming.


The team was relegated on May 11, 2002 after a 5-0 defeat by Liverpool at Anfield.
The automatic promotion in the 2023/2024 Championship season under manager Kieran McKenna makes Ipswich Town the first side since Southampton in 2012 to achieve back-to-back promotions.
This was after Ipswich Town, at one point, was relegated to the third tier League One after the 2018/2019 season.
The team finished at the bottom of the Championship table to get relegated that year.
It marked the end of a 63-year run in the top two tiers of English football.

A bit of history​

Ipswich Town's departure from the Premier League two decades ago was incredible considering that the team was competing with Leeds and Liverpool for the last remaining Champions League spot.

Depends on the owner and how the football club is run. Up and down are those ambitionless, stingy ones, just happy to be promoted and soak in the extra revenue. The better ones will stay up for a few years.
